About Cynthia
Cynthia Yanez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate anxiety and other life challenges. They focus on making therapy a collaborative process so clients feel heard and understood from the start. Sessions aim to untangle old assumptions and reduce the isolation that often comes with emotional pain.
Cynthia uses self-understanding and awareness as tools for change. They favor an insight-oriented style that encourages reflection about patterns and meanings in life.
Background and approach
This helps people see how past expectations shape current choices. When practical steps are needed, Cynthia brings in solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and small experiments. Those moments in therapy often turn into real behavior changes that ease stress and overwhelm.
The aim is to combine noticing what matters with actions that move a person forward. They have ten years of clinical experience and hold the LCSW credential, licensed in Florida and Indiana. Cynthia draws on a range of approaches to match each person's situation instead of using a single fixed method.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can address a wide range of concerns including relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, compassion fatigue, ADHD, identity questions, and career stress. The initial step is a short intake so goals can be clarified and a plan agreed on together.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and supports exploration of personal values and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in relationships and attachments; it helps people name feelings, connect them to needs, and change how they respond in close relationships. Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, freedom, and life choices, which can be helpful when people face big transitions, grief, or questions about identity.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Cynthia will work together with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their preferences, and adjust methods as progress and needs become clearer. This collaborative process helps ensure sessions stay focused on what the client wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
